Coalburn Gala Day is still going strong

Danniella’s coronation was carried out by retiring Queen Sophie Meek.
A special cake-cutting ceremony to mark three quarters of a century of Coalburn Gala was performed by Danniella and 1939 Gala Queen Helen Scott.
“All the former Gala Queens really enjoyed their day,” Claire said.
“Despite the weather, the day was perfect.”
